It always amazes me that many Christians are Republicans.
I understand that perhaps the Republican party "champions" the Religious Right. But the Libertarian actually is the party that stands for religious freedom.
So, while the Republicans are going to support what Christians want FOR NOW, what about if Christianity becomes the minority religion? As long as the majority favors what you want, you can be in charge. But what about when the majority DOESN'T favor what you want? Then, would you not want the freedom to practice whatever religion you chose?
Our Founding Fathers of this country specifically did not want the Church to become involved with the State, or Government. You must remember that the early Americans DID NOT WANT the government to be able to tell them what religion they had to practice. At the time the government of England wanted them to practice a religion that they did not agree with.
So, it is a FREEDOM, and even though you may not be persecuted for your religious choice right now, you need to fight to preserve that freedom. Freedom of Religion. You may practice whatever religion you choose. But you may NOT tell me how to think or what to believe. Just as I can't tell you what to think or how to believe.
We, as Libertarians, are not arguing for YOUR RELIGION, we are arguing for YOUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
The government doesn't have any business poking their noses in our FREEDOM. Once they do, you lose the right to choose.
Smaller Government. A good thing.
